Place your eggs in the water, covering completely if you want the whole egg to be covered. You can also dip half in one color and the other half in another color!

Eggs will start to change color within 1-2 minutes. Keep your egg in the colored water until they've reached the desired color.

Brush 'em with a little vegetable oil to make 'em shiny, and you're all done! Remember to treat your dyed Easter eggs the way you would treat any hard-boiled egg.

If you'd rather not use food coloring, try coloring your eggs with a natural dye. Just boil the water along with the natural dye material (beets, blueberries, turmeric) until you've got the color you want. Then, add about a tablespoon of vinegar and follow as above. Note: Naturally dyed eggs will have to soak for much longer (possibly overnight) to achieve the desired color.
